MAFUKA

That's where I'll play some records the next time :)

And I quote from the MySpace event description:
Once again we are proud to present an interesting band from Gothenburg. This time it's The Electric Pop Group who enter the little, little stage. They released their debutalbum in December last year and the Indie MP3-blog wrote: "It's listening to records like this that give me an enthusiasm for music! An album that will impress those who were around in the mid to late eighties during jangle pop's golden age to those discovering it for the first time today." We are also proud to present a new guest in the DJ-booth. It's our new friend Janis from Austria. Lastly, as a bit of a surprise, we are proud to present Tupelo Honeys, a Stockholm based band that were added to the line up at the very last minute. Enjoy!

Alright! So it's Sunday again and I survived another weekend. Well, and you too if you read this :) I guess it's time to give a short summary what happened here in Stockholm in the last days. Yup, it is!

Friday
Before the well-deserved weekend starts you have to deserve it well, you know :) So I had a reading seminar session of the collaborative computing course at university that started far too early in the morning. Half past 7 I entered the kitchen because every "hard working day" starts with a little breakfast. But I could have thrown up when I saw the nice mess my neighbours have left me over night: BLOOD! EVERYWHERE!!! On the floor! On the table! On the fridge! In the fridge! Somebody had his/her steak very bloody I guess. Uuaaaah!

After a morningshock like this the day could only become better. And it did: After university I had a glass of champagn at the *****hotel Sheraton with my friends Jonas, Daniel and Tobias to celebrate our project's kick-off (I will give you probably more details about this some other time! But it's reeeeaaaalllly exciting I tell you!). Fancy!

And in the evening I went out with friends. First a förfest at Christophe's place in Solna which was not so easy to find. Or did I just have a bad-sense-of-orientation-day? Well, whatever, after a glass of wine and a beer we went in to town, directly to Debaser where I met my wonderful but these days too hard working friend Katti. It was time for her to have a good hard party night ... and for me too. So we danced, watched the 2 concerts and met people. I even met a Swedish guy called Johan (Jill, it's the Legolas guy!) who I met in Vienna several months ago when he was playing with his band Liquid Scarlet there (The band that Idolen-winner Markus Fågervall was playing in before he became famous).

AND we met Daniel, my drummer friend from the upcoming next big Swedish rock thing who use to call themselves Film On Four by now. And again the evening ended up at an efterfest (after party) for just us 3 and me falling asleep on a couch after watching a movie. This time we didn't have any popcorn battle though :)

I came home around 13:30 :P

I was tired as hell until around 7 in the evening. But then I got to know our new French neighbour who is replacing 2 of our Chinese for a month and he managed to get me into a conversation. Respect! Half an hour later my favourite little Frenchman Francois and I left for our long trip to Alby. It's still Stockholm - if you believe it or not :) But the journey was absolutely worth it because Linus was having a party. And Linus's parties are always a nice experience because he and his flat mates always pick some kind of funny topic and most of the guests dress up according to the theme.

This time it was "Bonde söker fru" (farmer searches woman) and people were running around their in traditional Swedish farmer dresses or working overalls or checkered shirts or with tights and a pillow on their butt to be a chicken or some animal like this. REALLY FUNNY!!! At least Francois and me had fun at watching as we both drank water most of the time (You don't have to be drunk every night, do you?) while the Swedish people got more and more shaky in the knees and talkative :) Actually Francois and I had the secret mission to find "the right guy" for me ... unfortunately we didn't have so much luck. The options were pretty good but still there was no CLICK-moment for me. Sorry, guys! Well, no, actually you should be sorry :)

At half past 2 we left and headed home which was taking ages because of several drunken Swedish missbehaves on the subway. Some were drumming loud and at one subway station a guy pissed out from the carriage onto the platform and the train driver couldn't close the door. Oh la la!

When Francois and I arrived home there was a French revolution in the kitchen. The guys were cooking some late night food and Bernd, our German neighbour was lying knocked out on the couch. We joined them a little bit, watched some robert redford + barbara streisand movie and went to bed around 5.

Yo, it was a good evening!
